Resort: Burke Mountain

Conditions: MG/FG

Weather: Snow with temps in the 20's.

2007-2008 Trip Report #: 28

Well, the game plan was to hit the top and do a few spins....turns out the Willoughby Quad was down due to electrical problems and Brian and crew had been working all night on it. So the selection was pretty limited...I started with five or six runs on the Poma, which was Lower Warren's only:

Not quite enough for a bona fide powder day...

But I had fun making my own powder 8's.

I skied the Lower Mountain (all three runs) several times. Binney Lane is sketchy because of the unfrozen ground and lack of snow...hopefully that will change soon.

Left at 1:30. A nice morning, but wish we had the Quad spinning.
